CALTANISSETTA, SICILY

After Agrigento, our Sicily trip now on Day #7 brought us to the beautiful town of Caltanissetta. This was on a weather-permitting morning of September 6, 2019. The quick walk around this quaint town was enough for us to fall in love with it. What we saw in that brief moment was a town rich in history, interesting arts, good people and food. We walked aimlessly and didn't really know where we were going. We followed our instincts and interestingly enough, we cruised through Corso Vittorio Emanuele and Corso Umberto I which led us to the historic center, Palazzo Moncada, Sant’Agata al Collegio, and Piazza Garibaldi. At the center of the Piazza is the Triton Fountain located between the Santa Maria la Nova Cathedral and the Church of San Sebastiano. It depicts a bronze horse tamed by a triton and threatened by two sea monsters. The town was busy that day preparing for its annual Sicily food festival. As we were told by the locals, this once-a-year event showcases Sicilian street foods, indigenous products, arts/crafts and local wine and finishes off with a musical concert where locals dancing through the night. Although we missed this fun event, we did have a blast in that quick visit!!
